THE PREDICTION
Barcelona’s 2-1 victory in midweek over second division Rayo Vallecano, after going a goal down, was almost an entire embodiment of their season so far. Bad performance, potentially frightening result, over-reliance on De Jong and Messi, getting away with it just, unclear how or how long it will last. Off-field drama has matched on-pitch inadequacy but they can never be ruled out of collecting results. They come up against an Athletic side who’s improvement under Marcelino has been remarkable. A Supercopa victory for some silverware has been the standout among other impressive wins; none more so than their 5-1 victory over Getafe. An improvement in attacking quality has overshadowed the lack of a single clean sheet in Marcelino’s six matches in charge. Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals, in what looks to be an exciting clash, seems a good possibility.
